SouthLand Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Two small issues: - Try buying a gear knob that suits the car. SOmething like this: - NEVER put your car keys on a key chain with other stuff or you will end up scratching the Claussor and near by. The rest of the car looks awesome bud!

hvcciookay Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Lovely brothers you have there, but jesus the wrx looks like it's hiking up it's pants in some shots. Is suspension work in the future? BaM BooZeLLed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOmething like this: - NEVER put your car keys on a key chain with other stuff or you will end up scratching the Claussor and near by. The rest of the car looks awesome bud! I was considering a Flossy knob or Cobb knob. I really like the momo Subaru five speeds but they want like 180$ or something g for them and they aren't that heavy. As for the keys. Idk it's all good there are so many little things that I'm OCD about already that I want to patch and clean up. Like all the little scratches on the center console area that I want to repaint. I'm super careful around my car as it is. Lovely brothers you have there, but jesus the wrx looks like it's hiking up it's pants in some shots. Is suspension work in the future?It's on stock suspension for now because of where I live. Lots of pot holes, uneven pavement, weather conditions, and just bad roads in general. I'm defiantly doing suspension but just can't decide on the direction. Plus since I'm runnin a big tire I would need at least need a roll, which im not against but just something else. I think coils wouldn't be realistic for a daily unless I dropped a ton on fancy coils. I could go the lower springs with new struts. Then I would want the links to get upgraded and brakes. It's a never ending game haha. Thanks all for the comments Edited July 14, 2014 by BaM BooZeLLed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivispacem Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Suspension for rougher roads: my suggestion would be Bilstein B8s with Eibach springs. Lots of the M3 and fast VAG guys run that setup in the UK, our roads are awful and it's a fantastic balance between performance and damping. Don't know if they do them for the second-gen though- they definitely do for the third.

I don't want to ruin my ride quality for the few times I attack corners or go race. It's still my daily for now. Gonna edit my list didn't realize suspension and braking wasn't included. iPhone shot from the side I took today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Bilsteins are nice. Plus they can be rebuilt for cheap and revalved on down the road if you ever decide to go stiffer with your spring rates. geraldflesy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaM BooZeLLed Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I would love to get some type of adjustable coilovers. Then lift in the winter lower in the summer. Any opinions on coils from your experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivispacem Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I've run KWs in the past, both V1 and V2. They're regarded as some of the better riding stuff (there's a great deal of utter bilge on the market) and they were both very hard, even on their softest settings. I've also run Street Comforts, which were really good.

BaM BooZeLLed Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Did you ever get the dent fixed? Yes I did, kinda funny didnt realize till now that all my recent pictures fall on the other side of the car haha. Here was the fix it day. I also cleared my headlights, installed Short shifter, front/rear shift bushings, and tossed the summer wheels back on. Start of the day. Notice the hazy ass headlights Old shifter coming out Comparison between stock shift travel and height vs Kartboy setup Old New Headlights cleared.

sivispacem Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 You could always get a set of Rota Grids. They seem to have overcome their historic quality control issues and they're pretty decent, fairly light wheels.

Man I want to get there in life Shop guys have the ability to do all that swapping and stuff on the shops dime 90% of the time. Order stuff in that they are suppose to sell but instead go "try" them out or use them for advertising, then take them off and sell them for almost new price. With all these laying around of coarse they are gonna play with them. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/wedssport-sa10r-18x9-5-45mm-5x100-1399-shipping-223975.html Or you got the guys that grind up for them, like what I want to do with my Enkeis on the wagon. I will sell them and take that money and add some more on top to upgrade then repeat till you got some crazy ass JDM as F*ck awesomness. The legacy is my wifes car so she wants SSR GTV2's and seems pretty set on it. Just for kicks.
